My Mother's Garden

I hope everyone the world over is enjoying this beautiful weekend! Monday is Memorial day so we have the day off from work, which means a longer weekend, yay! Here in Miami, Florida it's sunny and hotter than hot! How hot? Well on the short walk from my doorstep to my car my silver Turkish chandelier earrings get hot enough to scorch my neck like an iron!! Sounds crazy, but I assure you it is very true, unfortunately I've been caught off guard like that a few times!

Anyway, I have a great May garden update post coming soon with lots of photographs of my garden and the progress over at Cactus Corner... In the meantime I have lots of photos of my mother's garden that I've accumulated here and there over time and I've finally gone through all of them and selected the best to share with you! Enjoy and stay tuned for my latest garden update tomorrow with a magnificent blooming cactus flower and much more!

The only jade plant I've ever seen flower was in Elqui Valley, Chile. Your mother's garden inspires. For the past couple years, I've been planting succulents in unlikely containers such as old skateboard deck planters, helmets, and baseball caps. I'm not familiar with some of the plants in the photographs, so you've given me some summer planting ideas. Thanks!
